Romelu Lukaku opens door to Arsenal and Spurs by hinting he’s ready to play for Chelsea rivals

Romelu Lukaku has seemingly opened the door to a move to either Arsenal or Tottenham by declaring he’s ready to move to one of Chelsea’s direct rivals.

The Belgian striker has spent two successive seasons out on loan at West Brom and Everton, but despite impressing for both, it’s unclear whether he has a future at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal and Spurs have both been linked with moves for the burly 21-year-old, and Lukaku has admitted he wants to compete for titles next season, whether that be with Chelsea or somewhere else.

‘I have a few ideas but we’ll see,’ said Lukaku. ‘I have to think about it.

‘I want to be somewhere where I can play my best football and hopefully win titles. There are choices to make. Things like that happen in football and I’m confident I will make the right choice.’

Asked whether he had spoken to anyone at Chelsea since he left to go on loan, he said: ‘No, not yet. It depends what is the best for me, where the most ambition is and where is the best place for me to do develop as a young player.

‘I’m still 21 but I think I’m experienced enough. I’ve played a lot of games and scored a lot of goals, now I want to win titles and be one of the best.’
